I don't know much about Buddhism, so please correct me if I made an error. Anyway, the world is better off without religion. Besides, we're doing fine without religion, aren't we?
I don't believe the concept of god as some sentient entity with some anthropomorphic traits is crucial to religion. I think the concept of unimpeacheable revealed truth easily substitutes for such a god, and it is this concept that stands in place of god in the Buddhist religion.
